Pedigree Insights: Feedback Positive for Violence WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2019 PEDIGREE INSIGHTS: BREEDING STOCK SALES SEASON FINISHES STRONG AT FASIG-TIPTON by Brian DiDonato FEEDBACK POSITIVE FOR LEXINGTON, Ky--The second of two sessions of Fasig-Tipton=s Kentucky Winter Mixed Sale featured strong trade heading into VIOLENCE the opening of the breeding season later this month. The two-day sale saw gross receipts of $9,659,400 at an average of $29,539 and median of $15,000. Last year=s average was $28,673 with a $10,500 median. The buyback rate this year was 20.4%, compared to 22.7% 12 months ago. For Tuesday=s session, $4,982,200 changed hands at an average of $27,526 and median of $13,000. The RNA rate was a paltry 11.3%.

After all, he had eight yearlings sell for $1 million or more at last year=s sales and, in 2017, he notched up the remarkable total of seven individual Grade I winners in the U.S. That's very good going for a horse who was priced no higher than $35,000 when he made his stud debut at Hill >n= Dale in 2005. With Medaglia d=Oro now 20, the search is on for his successor. Perhaps the search hasn=t been made any easier by the fact that fillies such as Rachel Alexandra, Songbird, Elate, Plum Pretty, Champagne d=Oro, Gabby=s Golden Gal, Marketing Mix and New Money Honey account for 12 of his 19 Northern Hemisphere Grade I winners. That said, there are sons of Medaglia d=Oro at several of Kentucky=s foremost stallion stations. While Coolmore hasn=t shuttled the champion Australian 2-year-old Vancouver for a third season at Ashford, Darley has traveled Astern, another of Medaglia d=Oro=s best Australian sons, for a second season in Kentucky.

That other son, the $1.2-million Superfection, never raced and was gelded, but Violence has proved to be worth every cent. A debut victory over seven furlongs at Saratoga earned Violence an immediate step up to Grade II company in the Nashua S. at Aqueduct. Victory was widely expected to go to Violence | Sarah Andrew Darwin, another Pletcher-trained colt, but it was Violence who short-priced favorite. He justified the confidence, maintaining overcame his greenness to score by two lengths. Although his unbeaten record by more than a length, with the future Pletcher suggested that Violence would not be seen again until GI Preakness S. winner Oxbox fourth and He=s Had Enough fifth. the winter circuit moved on to Gulfstream, the colt was given Rider Javier Castellano was impressed, commenting that, AHe one more juvenile start, six weeks later on the opposite coast, in is so calm and handles himself very professionally.

Talk Veuve to Me | Sarah Andrew The compilers of the Experimental Free Handicap shared Castellano=s enthusiasm, awarding Violence 123 pounds, which put him joint-second with He=s Had Enough among the males, three pounds below the unbeaten Shanghai Bobby. The GII Fountain of Youth S. was the next stop for Violence and he started odds-on, even though the race=s conditions meant he was set to give six pounds to all eight of his rivals. He nearly proved up to the task, but at the wire he was a half-length adrift of a progressive colt called Orb. While Orb went on to decisive Grade I victories in the Florida Derby and Kentucky Derby, Violence=s career ended in the Fountain of Youth. He was found to have suffered a fracture to a sesamoid. Violence is comfortably the highest priced of the Medaglia d=Oro sons mentioned above, with his fee having risen over the last three years from its original level of $15,000 to $25,000 and now to $40,000. The reasons for this latest rise are encapsulated in some of the data that appears in his Stallion Register details: A#1 Second Crop Sire by Cumulative SWs and SHs with 5 SWs and 8 SHs. AYearlings sold for $850,000, $725,000, $500,000, etc.@ His initial fee of $15,000 in 2014 ensured that Violence would be very attractive to mare owners. In addition to possessing good looks and a fashionable sire, he offered Grade I-winning juvenile form and a female line which featured the champion older female Sky Beauty as his third dam, the dual Grade I winner Maplejinsky as his fourth dam and Mr. Prospector=s champion sprinter Gold Beauty as his fifth dam. Sure enough, mares flocked to Violence, with nearly 700 of them visiting him during the four years he was priced at $15,000. He attracted another 214 in 2018, when his fee was $25,000. Cont. p5 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 13 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • FEBRUARY 6, 2019 Pedigree Insights cont. Violence winning the GI Hollywood Futurity | Benoit He now holds first place on the TDN=s list of Leading Third-Crop Sires, both by cumulative earnings and for the current year. The cumulative table credits him with 105 winners, of which 13 have won black-type events and three are graded stakes winners. The latest of those graded winners is Feedback, who landed the GIII Forward Gal S. over seven furlongs. Her predecessors are Cosmic Burst (GIII Honeybee S.) and Talk Veuve To Me (GIII Indian Oaks). It is significant, in view of Medaglia d=Oro=s record, that all three of Violence=s graded winners are fillies, as is Vibrance, who--like the GI Acorn S. second Talk Veuve To Me-- has been runner-up at Grade I level. I tend to think this is simply coincidence, as there are plenty of colts among his 22 black-type horses. Perhaps because his progeny have often sold for substantial amounts, I find myself wishing that he had a few more top-level performers to his credit.

Most recently, the duo was forced to regroup after their highly regarded 2-year-old colt Serengeti (Algorithms) crossed the wire a disappointing second as the even-money favorite in his June 10 Santa Anita debut--a performance that was likely a product of studishness in the post parade and greenness on the racetrack, where he struggled with his lead changes and proved no match for Runaway Giant (Ghostzapper) in the stretch.

The 5- year-old has performed below expectations on his three runs this year and trainers Leon and Troy Corstens believe a vaccination administered a month ago for a potential trip to the Dubai Carnival had an adverse effect on the horse=s well-being. >=He hasn=t quite been the same horse since he was vaccinated,@ Leon Corstens told Racing And Sports. >=It seemed to flatten him and I just think it=s all caught up with him.@ This time last year Awesome Rock opened his account at the top level when winning the G1 Australian Cup only for him to lose the race in the steward=s room following interference with Preferment (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}) who was subsequently awarded the race.
